The Carbohydrates to Fiber ratio of Moringa Powder is 2 to 1. This means for every 2 grams of Carbohydrates there is 1 gram of Fiber. According to Harvard Health — A Carb ratio of 10-1 is considered healthy and a Carb to Fiber ratio of 6-1 is recommended for most diets (100% whole grain bread has a 6-1 ratio for example). There are many reasons why fiber is essential to a healthy life. You can read more about Fiber’s Benefits at MayoClinic.com. But the most important thing to note here is that yes, Moringa does have Carbohydrates, but it also has the Fiber to balance it out. The only other natural plant products with a better Carb to Fiber ratio are Flax Seeds, Chia Seeds, and Coconut Fiber.

Like many other herbs, moringa seeds also offer great antioxidant benefits. They contain lots of vitamin A, C, B complex and other free radical busters that save our body from severe oxidative damages. In other words, the antioxidant properties of the seeds can help us take care of our health on the whole. Scientists have proved that moringa seeds can reduce the amount of oxidized lipids in our body and take care of our cardiac health by safeguarding the heart tissues from constructional damages. The anti-carcinogenic effects of moringa seeds are also quite well-known. They can stop the growth and development of cancer cells by accelerating their death count. According to researchers, intake of moringa seed powder for 3 consecutive weeks can restrain colon cancer successfully.

Historically, Moringa seed oil has been used for skin diseases, gout, joint pain, scurvy, inflammation, stomach distress, rheumatism, and many ills. While millions of people have used it for these ailments, we do not have any personal experience with it.
